Hi guys as the title suggests i keep getting the division by zero error but im not dividing anything. can anyone see an issue with the attached? i scratching my head. the code at the bottom is a custom indicator is this causing the issue?
// Definition of code parameters
DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = true // Cumulating positions deactivated
// The system will cancel all pending orders and close all positions at 0:00. No new ones will be allowed until after the "FLATBEFORE" time.

// Cancel all pending orders and close all positions at the "FLATAFTER" time
DEFPARAM FLATAFTER = 060000
// Prevents the system from placing new orders on specified days of the week
daysForbiddenEntry = OpenDayOfWeek = 6 OR OpenDayOfWeek = 0
if not onmarket then
c1 =1
c5 = 1
endif

BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET

Hi there,
I should at least change line 85
if t-1.96 then
to
if t=1.96 then
You’d want that anyway and maybe it even helps. 🙂
The issue could be due to the indicator “trend/no trend”.
Check any division in there.

Hi @Mishap
t=(LinearRegressionSlope[AA](close)–0)*SQRT(AA–2)/(STE[AA](close)/STD[AA](Barindex))
When BarIndex = 0 then STD[AA](BarIndex) is zero (devision by zero)
Remarks:
(Close)-0) ???
Standarddeviation of the BarIndex???
CumulateOrders is not deactivated because = true
Weird code, but ok 🙂
The problem is located in your indicator, make sure you have sufficient history in order to calculate the standard deviation of the barindex (!??) 😆

lol thanks guys, i was trying something a little different 🙂
